Full moon again ✨

🌕 The Beaver Supermoon — November 5, 2025
✨ The Brightest Full Moon of the Year

Mark your calendars! On the night of November 5, 2025, the Beaver Supermoon will grace our skies — shining larger, closer, and brighter than any other full moon this year.

This stunning celestial event occurs when the Full Moon coincides with the Moon’s perigee — its closest point to Earth. The result? A glowing orb up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical full moon, bathing the landscape in brilliant golden light.

🌿 Why “Beaver Moon”?
In Native American and early colonial traditions, November’s full moon was known as the Beaver Moon — marking the time when beavers prepared their lodges for the coming winter. It symbolizes hard work, preparation, and harmony with nature’s cycles.

🔭 How to Watch:

Look toward the eastern horizon just after sunset for a breathtaking golden rise.

The Moon will appear especially large and warm-toned when it’s low on the horizon.

For the clearest and most magical view, find a dark spot away from city lights.

💫 Why It’s Special:
This isn’t just another full moon — it’s the brightest and most photogenic Moon of 2025. As it climbs higher through the night sky, its hue will shift from deep amber to icy silver, offering a mesmerizing visual transformation.

📸 Whether you’re photographing the lunar rise, meditating under its glow, or simply pausing to take it all in, the Beaver Supermoon is a moment to reconnect with the cosmos — a quiet reminder of our place beneath the stars.

✨ Step outside. Look up. Let the Moonlight find you. 🌕

💤 Sleeping Positions & Lymphatic Flow: What You Need to Know

The way we sleep each night doesn’t just affect our comfort — it influences the way our body clears toxins, moves lymph, and restores itself. Many Lymphies ask: “Does the way I sleep affect my lymphatic system and the brain’s glymphatic flow?” The answer is yes — and here’s how.

🧠 The Glymphatic System: Your Brain’s Night Shift

The glymphatic system is a special detox network in the brain that works mainly while we sleep. It clears away metabolic waste, cellular debris, and toxins such as beta-amyloid proteins. Think of it as the brain’s night-time cleaning crew.
• Side Sleeping Wins: Research shows that side sleeping (particularly on the left side) is the most efficient position for glymphatic clearance. In this position, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) moves more easily, supporting waste removal from brain tissue.
• Back Sleeping: Neutral for glymphatic flow, but can still support drainage if your head and neck are aligned properly.
• Stomach Sleeping: Less ideal. Turning your head to one side can compress veins and lymphatic vessels in the neck, which are the main exit pathways for glymphatic waste. This may make brain detox less effective overnight.

🌿 Body Lymphatic Flow & Sleep

Your lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump like the heart. Instead, it relies on movement, breath, and positioning. Sleep position can either support or restrict this flow:
• Side Sleeping (especially left): Reduces pressure on the central lymphatic structures. The thoracic duct (the body’s main lymph highway) runs up the left side of your spine, so lying this way often helps flow move more freely.
• Back Sleeping: Keeps the chest open and minimizes pressure on the abdomen, allowing both lymphatic and venous return to the heart to remain efficient.
• Stomach Sleeping: Adds weight directly onto the abdomen, compressing the cisterna chyli (a large lymph reservoir deep in the belly). This may slow lymph movement upward through the thoracic duct. Over time, it could contribute to puffiness, bloating, or sluggish morning flow.

⚖️ Finding What Works for You

Not everyone can comfortably change their natural sleep style — but here are some Lymphie Tips to make any position work better:
• If you sleep on your side: Support your head and neck with a pillow that keeps your spine straight. Try favoring the left side to optimize both lymphatic and glymphatic drainage.
• If you sleep on your back: Use a pillow under your knees to keep your lower back relaxed, and ensure your head is not propped too high, which could block neck drainage.
• If you sleep on your stomach: Place a thin pillow under your ribs/upper abdomen to reduce belly compression. In the morning, do a few deep diaphragmatic breaths and gentle neck stretches to reopen the flow pathways.

🌙 Final Thought

Your sleeping position is more than just habit — it directly influences how effectively your body clears toxins, your brain resets, and your lymphatic system flows. If you’ve been waking up puffy, foggy, or heavy, try experimenting with side or back sleeping and notice the difference.

Even the smallest adjustments can give your lymph and glymphatic system the overnight boost they need. 🌿💚
